You can clean the area gently with warm water and mild soap, and apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol for any discomfort. If the bleeding continues or if you notice signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or pus, please see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
